Dental implant courses, digital dentistry training, and more

Course Abstract:

There are a lot of special precautions when we do dental implants at the posterior maxillary and mandibular region. It’s never meant to be very easy, although not esthetically as important when compare with the implant in the esthetic zone. All sorts of posterior problems such as the ID nerve and lingual nerve, the maxillary sinus, the proximity to the throat and airway, the accessibility due to the cheek and the

tongue makes placing dental implant in this region more challenging. Moreover, there are unique resorption pattern such as maxillary sinus pneumontization and the typical knife edge posterior mandibular ridge and loss of vertical bone volume sometimes made dental implant placement very difficult and risky.

This course aims to walk you through the journey of knowing the limitation, pre-operative assessment and decision marking when doing dental implant at the posterior region of the jaw. Bone augmentation at this area will be mentioned as well as immediate placement. We hope to give you

some up-to-date evidence based practical tips during the 2 days learning. Live surgical demonstration, hands-on practical sessions and case base small group discussions will also be provided, hoping to make the course more interactive. We will see you there!

Ever since Dr. Paulo Maló published the first article on the All-on-4™ protocol for implant reconstruction of the mandibular full arch in 2003, there have been significant changes in the way dental professionals managing patients for full-arch implant restoration. Initially, there were concerns regarding the use of only four implants to support a full arch fixed restoration. The dental community exercised caution, particularly when the All-on-4™ protocol was indicated for immediate loading. 

After 25 years of clinical application and extensive documentation, All-on-4™ has firmly established itself as an effective method for full arch and full mouth dental implant reconstruction, particularly in patients with limited bone volume in the posterior oral regions. 

In recent years, dentistry has been undergoing digital transformation, with the integration of a complete digital workflow into dentists' everyday practices, including dental implant treatments. 

This three-day course aims to present the long-term evidence of All-on-4™ from both literature sources and real-world experiences. Additionally, the course will demonstrate the benefits of digitalization in full-arch protocols with live procedures. Hands-on sessions will provide participants with life-like models for an immersive learning experience. Whether you and your team are experienced in All-on-4™ or new to it, this course will be highly beneficial for your dental implant practice in the digital age. 

This course will explore the latest scientific advancements in osseointegration, mucointegration and the one-abutment one-time protocol. We will reflect on over 30 years of implant knowledge and explore exciting new possibilities in implant surgical techniques, implant and abutment surfaces, and innovative restorative concepts. This interactive course brings science and clinical practice together like never before!

Embrace the Digital Era!

Discover how cutting-edge technologies can enhance collaboration and achieve exceptional treatment outcomes. You will learn how you can streamline the creation of a virtual patient setup, and explore how advances in AI enabled software, helps to simplify even the most complex multidisciplinary treatments, ensuring better accuracy, efficiency, predictability, and a fully integrated restorative outcome.

Experience the Dynamic Digital Workflow!

A digital approach to delivering dental implant therapy helps streamline processes, making them more efficient, compliant, agile, and visible. We will explore every step of this process, relate this to analogue workflows and how to incorporate digital into your daily practice. The course will include didactic, hands-on and live surgical demonstrations to give participants in-depth knowledge and understanding that they can apply directly to their clinical practice on completion of the course. .
